Hello every1! 🙂 :cheer:

Do you know if it's possible to open a specific WebVue mimic passing mimic name as an URL argument?

That was possible with some trick on the old WebVue... what about the actual one?

Thank you!

Filippo

Hello Filippo,

You should try this technic given by Armin a long time ago:

You can take advantage of the way it works in TouchVue and SnapVue.
The GraphicalData service, which is the backend service of WebVue exposes three public routes, to retrieve the graphical contents of a mimic, a symbol or a branch:

https://[hostname:port]/GraphicalData/Symbols?name=[SymbolName]&branch=[BranchName]
https://[hostname:port]/GraphicalData/Mimics?name=[MimicName]&branch=[BranchName]
https://[hostname:port]/GraphicalData/Branches?name=[BranchName]

I never tried, I hope it will work for you.

This is basically the way to go, but authentication makes everything a little bit more complicated.
@Filippo: Can you tell us more about the context ? In what kind of web site or app should the mimic (or symbol) be integrated ?

Regards

Hello everybody!

Sorry - I know it's not elegant to reply about this topic after more than 2 years, but other customers put me the same questions... First of all, Thank you Ludo and Benoit for your useful information.

In fact, what is worrying me is the authentication.

I have 2 applicative contexts where this request comes from:

[list=1][list=1]

  • It's a PSIM software, running on the same LAN of PcVue, that connects security equipment. PcVue talk with this software via WebServices (basically to exchange Alarm Status). When there's an alarm from PcVue, this PSIM software will display an alert on his GUI. The request of the customer is to be able to open the corresponding PcVue mimic on a Web Browser control embedded in that software. Here, authentication should be easier since both stations (PSIM and PcVue) arein the same LAN and under the same Active Directory domain.
  • It's a cloud platform from Sofrel called Sofrel Web LS. This platform is designed to gather and display aggregated data only from their Low Power RTUs family. The advantage of this platform is that embeds some advanced water calculation algorithms designed for that kindof RTUs. The problem is... if you have another model of Sofrel RTUs - or non-Sofrel ones, you should jump manually to another platform (in ourcase, of course, PcVue). Since the Sofrel cloud platform can link a specific externalURL for non-Sofrel LS devices, we're wondering if we can launch a particular WebVue mimic. But here authentication is quite difficult. We're on the Internet and Sofrel experts say we can configurelike a "token passing" mechanism, but I should obtain more details that at the moment I don't have.

    • [/*]

    In other words, I'm asking if in the meantime we discovered something smarter or if there're experiences about this, especially about authentication.

    Thanks a lot!
